I've called my blog  'Monday's diet'  as my diets / healthy eating regimes always start on a Monday and my husband always laughs at this.

My husband and I aim to eat healthy and lose weight, ( target for me is 1 stone by December).  We are  going to try and  follow the principles of the Slimming World diet, having never been to a meeting so we are only going on info that has been given to us.  So if you are a Slimming world expert and can see obvious errors in the way we are doing this, then please feel free to let us know

• Red day “free foods” include most fruits and vegetables, white fish, lean meats and eggs. Milk, cheese, bread, grains, beans, potatoes and dried fruits are restricted “healthy extras”.
• Green day “free foods” include fruit and vegetables, grains, beans, pulses, pasta, rice, tofu, and eggs. “Healthy extras” include milk, cheese, bread, dried fruit, nuts and seeds, meat, and fish.
